Louis Vuitton men's spring/summer 2015 - The Bags!

Honestly, I am looking forward to Louis Vuitton Spring/summer 2015 bags. They are nice. I find LV's fall/winter 2014 bags kinda ho hum. The only nice bag from that collection is the reflective silver leather gym bag. But the price... oh my, and what's going on with Damier Cobalt anyway? Isn't it Damier Graphite canvas with a little subtle blue hue? But, that is a story for another day.

On to 2015 bags.



I think this bag shape has been done to death. It reminds me of the Celine luggage tote and many others of similar silhouette. The thing I like about this bag is the use of the monogram canvas holding the clochette, the handle fastener as well as the luggage tag.. Nice


This particular bag, on one hand looks the same as the first, however there are differences. Notice the side fastener in monogram. The bag edge can be tucked in to create a different silhouette. I personally like this particular piece.


I personally find the briefcase quite delightful. The Monogram fasteners should be durable and last long. The tote bag however.. hmm.. did not do it so much for me.




I understand that these are supposed to be water resistant. The bagpack shape is not too bad. I can identify with the V logo. Saw it a couple of times on shirts, jacket ( I have one of those) and jeans. They look soft and supple and should come in handy.



I just lvoe the monogram tote bag with the big blue V. Beautiful. I just love the silhouette and the blue V is just captivating. The atoll wallet is make a nice accompaniment to the tote.

With 3 bags that I like from the collection, I guess I better start saving for next year.

Louis Vuitton men's spring/summer 2015 and Karakoram - what is Kim Jones thinking? Part II

I thought the mirrored apparel was kinda interesting. There is more.

Yes I know the shirts feature the famous Karakoram pattern, first used by Louis Vuitton in the 1920s. Kim Jones has used the pattern a few times times during his tenure in Louis Vuitton. But these, ah, shirts, remind me of someone, rather a character in comics and cartoon that I used to read and watch when I was younger. Oh, and I still read the comics. I just LVOE peanuts. Well, here he is, Charlie Brown in his very own Karakoram shirt. Nice, no?
